Multi-Opening Pill Box

ABSTRACT

A multi-opening pill box comprises a body, mobile covers and sealing covers. The body is a polyhedron having a plurality of openings and a plurality of cover slots. The cover slots can receive the mobile covers and the sealing covers. Two opposite sides of the body respectively have joining pins and pin holes used to assemble together the body to another body. At a specified time, the user takes out pills from one specified side of the pill boxes of the present invention. The pills stored behind the mobile cover of the specified side are pills to be taken at the specified time. The pills stored behind the sealing cover of the specified side are pills the user should not take at the specified time.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a multi-opening pill box, particularlyto a pill box structure, which allows for convenient dispensing ofmedicine and prevents users from taking wrong medicine.

2. Description of the Related Art

The conventional pill box can only contain medicine. When a user has totake several types of medicines, the conventional pill box is neitherconvenient for the user taking medicine nor prevents the user fromtaking the wrong medicine. So far, an effective solution has notappeared yet.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To overcome the problems mentioned above, the present invention proposesa multi-opening pill box, which comprises a body, mobile covers, sealingcovers, joining pins and pin holes. The body has a plurality of openingsand a plurality of cover slots. The mobile covers and the sealing coversare respectively inserted into the cover slots to achieve a requiredfunction. The joining pins and the pin holes are arranged in twoopposite sides of the body respectively and used to assemble togetherone body to another body. At a specified time, the user takes out pillsfrom one specified side of the pill boxes of the present invention. Thepills stored behind the mobile cover of the specified side are pills tobe taken at the specified time. The pills stored behind the sealingcover of the specified side are pills the user should not take at thespecified time. Thereby, the present invention is not only convenientfor the user taking medicine but also prevents the user from taking thewrong medicine.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the operation ofmulti-opening pill boxes according to the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The present invention proposes amulti-opening pill box, which comprises a body 1, mobile covers 2 andsealing covers 3. The body 1 is a polyhedron having a plurality ofopenings and a plurality of cover slots 6. The cover slots 6 can receivethe mobile covers 2 and the sealing covers 3. The mobile cover 2 isinserted into the cover slot 6 to integrate with the body 1. The mobileportion of the surface of the mobile cover 2 has a protrusion 21. Thesealing cover 3 is inserted into the cover slot 6 to integrate with thebody 1. The immobile portion of the surface of the sealing cover 6 has aprotrusion 31.

One side of the body 1 has joining pins 4. The side opposite to thejoining pins 4 has pin holes 5. Several bodies 1 can be assembledtogether via engaging the joining pins 4 with the pin holes 5 to achievea required function, as shown in FIG. 2.

At a specified time, the user takes out pills from one specified side ofthe pill boxes of the present invention. The pills stored behind themobile cover 2 of the specified side are pills to be taken at thespecified time. The pills stored behind the sealing cover 3 of thespecified side are pills the user should not take at the specified time.Thereby, the present invention is not only convenient for the usertaking medicine but also prevents the user from taking the wrongmedicine. Therefore, the present invention possesses utility, noveltyand non-obviousness and meets the conditions for a patent.

Further, a reminder label may be stuck onto the surface of the pill box.Furthermore, the mobile covers 2 and the sealing covers 3 may be made ofa transparent material, whereby the user can easily see the pills storedinside the body 1.

In conclusion, the present invention proposes a multi-opening pill boxhaving functions that the prior-art pill boxes do not have. Therefore,the present invention has improvements over the conventional technology.

The embodiments described above are only to exemplify the presentinvention but not to limit the scope of the present invention. Anyequivalent modification or variation according to the spirit of thepresent invention is to be also included within the scope of the presentinvention.
